U.S. Retail Sector Rebound Boosts Workers’ Wages, Executive Bonuses

Wages have grown for cashiers and retail buyers among others, a sign that a tight labor market is finally translating into base-pay gains for workers at retailers, according to data gathered from millions of U.S. worker salaries by Glassdoor, a job website operator.
